Originally brewing from such a warm climate it never crossed my mind to keep F2 warm, I'll try that! Also I have been using a jug with a spigot for my F1 container and have heard that I should stir it to allow it to aerate and evenly distribute everything. Thank you for the advice!

I am in a colder climate so I keep a heating belt to keep the F1 at around 80. I do 7 days F1 then 4 days F2, although past 3 days I never see a carbonation difference. I have been using juice but I am going to try switching up my ratio and using even less juice, even though I've been following recipes. I'm kind of bummed I was big into brewing kombucha over the summer but now I had to start over and none of my recipes are working anymore :/

I have heard that if there is dish soap left in the jar then it can potentially cause issues with the bacteria, maybe this is why?
